Madras/Chennai, Tamil Nadu, South India. From Inauguration of the Women Students Christian Host Madras/Chennai, Tamil Nadu, Sydindien. Fra det kristne kvindehostels indvielse, 3. marts 1973. Så at sige egenhændigt skaffede Helga Olesen midler til veje fra glade givere, så der i tilknytning til kollegiet kunne opføres et lille kirkerum. Dette kapel blev indviet af biskop Thorkild Græsholt, der netop havde deltaget i en international kirkekonference i Bangkok. Billedet er fra denne indvielse. Foruden biskop Græsholt (tv) ses fra højre: den danske ambassadør i New Delhi, Henning Halck, guvernøren over Tamil Nadu, K. K. Shah, fru Halck og fru Græsholt. Der var mange andre fremtrædende gæster ved festen, bl.a. ALCs præsident, pastor Dorairaj Peter. Både ambassadør H. Halck, pastor Dorairaj Peter og guvernør K. K. Shah talte. En deltager rapporterer: Guvernøren var meget festlig i sin halve times tale og omtalte missionsarbejdet meget positivt, hvilket gav lange klapsalver og jubel.

Description
Madras/Chennai, Tamil Nadu, South India. From Inauguration of the Women Students Christian Hostel on 3rd March 1973. Helga Olesen, so to speak single-handedly, obtained enough donations to build a small chapel in connection with the hostel. The chapel was inaugurated by Bishop Thorkild Græsholt, who had just taken part in an international church conference in Bangkok. This picture is from the inauguration of the chapel. Bishop Græsholt is standing to the left, and sitting from right to left are the Danish Ambassador to India, Mr. Henning Halck, the Governor of Tamil Nadu, Mr. K. K. Shah, Mrs Halck, and Mrs Græsholt. Present were many other prominent guests, among them President of the Arcot Lutheran Church, Rev. Dorairaj Peter. Speeches by held by Ambassador H. Halck, Rev.Doriaraj Peter, and Governor K. K. Shah. The governor spoke for half an hour, and he was both amusing and very positive, which resulted in prolonged applause and rejoice. (Used in: Dansk Missionsblad no. 4-5/1973).
